I had a Star Trek screensaver pack from the flying toaster people back in the early '90s when folks still bothered with such things (and despite my not being a particular fan of the show; I think it was a Christmas gift). The only one that was cool in any way was the Tribble one -- it slowly filled the screen with Tribbles, which would twitch and (if I had the sound on) chirp, and every once in a while a hatch would open in the black background and Spock would check on their progress.

Ah, memories.

The red alert klaxon would make an awesomely annoying cellphone ring tone.

BP - my friends and I had the same ringtones discussion while we listened to this over the weekend.

That is an excellent CD. I bought it well over a decade ago. I use the various FX in my mp3 alarm clock.
